In 1972, when I was 7 years old, my favorite Saturday morning cartoon was Sealab 2020. How unimaginably far away that seemed then!

Wow! So many folks right around my age, and expressing my thoughts. And, G-D BLESS YOU, RUTH H.

For Neo and all her readers, may 2020 see you and your families go from success to success, joy to joy!

I understood that Chuck Yeager had great vision, like 15/20.

Tom Grey: I once heard that Ted Williams, the baseball player, could see the seams on a pitched baseball and read the label off a record spinning at 78 rpm.

Apparently those are urban legends.

However, it is a fact that Williams had 20/10 vision — he could see at 20 feet what normal folks could only see at 10.

In 1984 I was 41, and still in 1980 it was hard to believe in 1984 as a year that might actually happen!

Yes, “2020” seems solid and sensible, unlike that flibbertigibbet 2019.

And I hope that everyone here, and all their nearest and dearest (naturally, including the dogs) will enjoy a good 2020. 😀

Hope all have a wonderful New Year.
2020.
Just like great vision. Mine is more like 20/45.

Neo – I think you mentioned that you get a Pocket email, but if not, the one that arrived today had this article about how 2020 is the future.

I found it interesting, but a little disturbing on some levels – especially about the placement in time of certain things.

In my youth I’d do the math at Thanksgiving, to determine how far away Christmas morning was. It was so far away as to be nearly in the realm of science fiction .
Now, I swear weekly “garbage pick up day” comes every third day!
TODAY’S New Years tip: For those so ancient that they still know HOW to write, but ESPECIALLY write checks to pay bills and such, you’re probably SOOOO old as to be a doddering fool drooling
into your butterscotch pudding, so get out your checkbook(s) and fill in the
“year” part of the date with 2020 on the next 15 checks or so.
That is, if your as susceptible to human nature, and instinct, as I am.
(Been doing this for 20 years or so)
For those of you so young, hip, cool, and woke, that EVERYTHING happens on an electronic screen….Post-it note, or write it with a sharpie under the screen on your “smart” phone, “HEY! 2020!
Don’t worry, unlike my 10 year old “dumb” flip phone, your hand held electronic devices will be obsolete, and replaced, LONG before this graffiti becomes inaccurate!
